Description

The Autobiography of an ExecutionA riveting, artfully written memoir of a lawyer's life as he races to prevent death row inmates from being executed. Near the beginning of The Autobiography of an Execution, David Dow lays his cards on the table. "People think that because I am against the death penalty and don't think people should be executed, that I forgive those people for what they did. Well, it isn't my place to forgive people, and if it were, I probably wouldn't. I'm a

A riveting, artfully written memoir of a lawyer's life as he races to prevent death row inmates from being executed.
Near the beginning of The Autobiography of an Execution, David Dow lays his cards on the table. "People think that because I am against the death penalty and don't think people should be executed, that I forgive those people for what they did. Well, it isn't my place to forgive people, and if it were, I probably wouldn't. I'm a judgmental and not very forgiving guy. Just ask my wife."

It this spellbinding true crime narrative, Dow takes us inside of prisons, inside the complicated minds of judges, inside execution-administration chambers, into the lives of death row inmates (some shown to be innocent, others not) and even into his own home--where the toll of working on these gnarled and difficult cases is perhaps inevitably paid. He sheds insight onto unexpected phenomena-- how even religious lawyer and justices can evince deep rooted support for putting criminals to death-- and makes palpable the suspense that clings to every word and action when human lives hang in the balance.

Charlie was better
Color: Ivy Green
The zipper, which is why I bought it, doesn't work well, gets stuck and damages bills. I used a Charlie before, and although it was more compact, it fit more cards and was generally more convenient.

The best of the basics
Color: Ivy Green
Simple and on point. Minimalistic. One side for cash, folded in half. Other side 3 slots can comfortably fit 4 cards: ID / bank & or credit card / costco card. Any more than 4 gets a little harder to pull out. But dont worry, thats what the zipper pocket is for. Maybe just a few more tho, like health insurance cards. For just the basics.

Perfect for a minimalist
Color: Ivy Green
My husband had this exact wallet for 8 years. It was still functional and used daily. I got him this replacement and he was beyond excited. Said that it was his favorite Christmas gift lol. The durability and function of this minimalist wallet is unmatched. Love the color too!
